Where can I get a cheap kilt?

I am an American kilt-wearer, and I live in Kansas, so there is no one for at least 600 miles who sells kilts. I am wondering if anyone knows of a site where I can get another kilt. I am using a blackwatch one from www.SportKilt.com, and those run around 80 bucks. Any ideas?

SportKilt is a good cheapie. I like SportKilt for causal summer time, around the barbecue and around town sort of kilt. I would say a notch above those would be USA Kilts. Not that they should be preferred over a SportKilt, but that they are built with stronger PV material, that looks like wool. Two great summer time kilts.

Now for winter, you cannot beat a Stillwater Heavyweight. You can buy them around $130, and they will keep you warm, if you can get a 16 ounce. They also have economy kilts as well just under $50.

You always have the alternative ones as well, UtiliKilt and Alt.Kilt. There are things I really like and dislike about these kilts. I love how functional they are. You can wear them really dressed down and handle like a pair of jeans which is popular with Americans. Give them wool, and watch out---no more washing yourself, to the cleaners... But my beef with alternative kilts is that they sometimes do not look like remotely traditional short of the gaping whole on the bottom. The aprons are small, and the pleats are really wide. I generally prefer a long traditional apron and somewhat narrow pleats myself, but I still like the concept of the UK with the pockets and no need for a sporran. Named the American kilt made for Americans (although I know some Scots who prefer them as well).

I would avoid the cheap Paki-made Kilts. You can sometimes find them online, particularly around eBay and then Ren-Faires. You never seem to see a website selling them, unless you are ordering in bulk, and buying them for like $5 a piece for a 1000 kilt minimum for dealers. You can typically see them resold at the ren-faires for about $40-$60. They are not worth it, just like those cheap rosewood bagpipes and practice chanters that come from the same region. All cheap, just enough to look at and wear for a few times before they fall apart or begin to break up. I was talking to one of my bagpipe suppliers and he told me he was approached with an offer that he declined bagpipe practice chanters for $3 and the bagpipes for $36 dealer prices. Then these dealers turn around and try to sell them for $30-$50 for the practice chanters and $180-$260 for the bagpipes. Total crap.
